My face was warm. But all in all...I was confused.
'Is this really the same Maxi I know?' I first thought, until I remembered what Maxi just called me. 'He referred to me as Mademoiselle?!'
That's right! Maxi never saw the real me! He only knew Howard Houdini!
"I'm flattered to see that you're concerned about me, but I was simply practicing a magic trick." As soon as he mentioned that, Maxi went into a thorough explanation on how great of a magician he was.
'Why didn't I leave?' I silently regret not excusing myself. I must be really lucky since it's not our meeting time yet.
"So Mademoiselle..." Maxi's words snapped me out of my thoughts. I refocused my gaze back to him. "May I have the honor of knowing your name?"
I stared at Maxi, still in shock. 'This really is a completely different Maxi compared to how I see him as Houdini.'
His eyes weren't of anger or filled with taunt. It made me wonder if Maxi only talked to girls like this.
"Lucia." I finally replied, answering his question.
